5 Creative Ways Theatre Can Help You Learn English

Have you ever thought about turning your passion for performing arts into an English learning opportunity? It is always more enjoyable to learn while you’re having fun so we’ve put together a few ideas of how you can do exactly that…

1. See lots of showsWhen you feel you have a basic understanding of the English language, try to see as many shows and plays as possible. By listening to the scripts and following the storylines, you will gain new skills in expressing yourself in English.

2. Talk about your hobbies and interestsWhen you are asked about your hobbies and interests, learn how to describe what you love about the theatre! Increase your English vocabulary by learning the words to explain all the wonderful things you see and experience.

3. Practice performing yourselfBy reading scripts and practising out storylines you will become more familiar with new words and their pronunciation, all whilst having fun! Once you gain confidence, you could even try writing some short plays yourself, which will provide some great writing practice.

4. Find a course that offers both!

Our English plus Theatre and Dance course offers the opportunity to develop your theatrical skills in drama and dance, whilst also improving your English. This course builds your skills in acting, singing, dance and stagecraft. Another highlight of the course is a visit to a London Musical show at a West End Theatre.
